Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxibustion equipment, specifically to a dust-shaking device for moxibustion devices. Background Technology

[0002] In moxibustion therapy, existing moxibustion devices are mainly used to support and fix the moxa sticks and collect the ash produced by burning, providing basic support for the moxibustion operation and enabling users to achieve effects such as warming and unblocking the meridians, dispelling cold and dampness through moxibustion.

[0003] However, when existing moxa sticks burn, ash continuously accumulates on the surface of the stick and inside the device. This ash buildup hinders sufficient contact between the moxa stick and air, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply for combustion. The accumulated ash weakens the warming stimulation produced by moxibustion, making it difficult to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. For example, individuals with a cold constitution may not receive enough warmth to improve their condition during moxibustion treatment. Furthermore, ash easily falls when the moxibustion device is moved or the user moves. For instance, with some hanging moxibustion devices, even slight shaking during use can cause ash to spill, potentially burning the user's skin. Moreover, if the fallen ash comes into contact with flammable materials such as clothing or bed sheets, it could potentially cause a fire, threatening the user's personal safety and property.

[0004] Therefore, the ash needs to be cleaned, but users often have to do so manually. Some moxibustion boxes are compactly designed, requiring strenuous disassembly for cleaning, making the process cumbersome. During cleaning, the ash easily flies around, not only soiling the surrounding environment but also dispersing into the air. The tiny particles in the ash, when inhaled, can irritate the respiratory tract and harm health, especially for people with respiratory sensitivities. Therefore, developing an efficient ash-dispelling device for moxibustion is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a ash-shaking device for moxibustion devices, which can clamp the moxa stick using a combustion chamber. When it is necessary to shake off the ash from the moxa stick, simply place the end of the combustion chamber into the collection chamber and strike the end of the combustion chamber with the contact head to shake off the ash produced after the burning end of the moxa stick.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a ash-shaking device for moxibustion, including a collection chamber, a movable contact head at the bottom of the collection chamber, a combustion chamber above the contact head and located inside the collection chamber, a moxa stick placed inside the combustion chamber, and a mesh support installed at the end of the combustion chamber. The moxa stick is lit, and after the moxa stick has burned for a period of time, a timer program is activated to trigger the operation program of the robotic arm. The robotic arm moves to place the end of the combustion chamber into the collection chamber, so that the mesh support comes into contact with the contact head. The contact head impacts the mesh support to shake off the ash produced after the moxa stick has burned.

[0007] The bottom of the collecting chamber has a limiting outer cylinder, and the contact head is located at the end of the limiting outer cylinder. The contact head is detachably connected to the limiting outer cylinder through a connector, which is a bolt that passes through the end of the limiting outer cylinder. The end of the bolt passes through the contact head, and the contact head has a through hole with a diameter smaller than that of the bolt. The bolt end and the through hole are interference fit, and the contact head can be driven to move up and down through the bolt end.

[0008] The bolt tail abuts against a piston rod, which swings up and down inside the limiting outer cylinder via a crank-connecting rod assembly. When the piston rod moves up and down, it impacts the bolt, causing the bolt to move upward. As the bolt moves upward, it drives the contact head to move upward, impacting the mesh support and completing the dust removal operation.

[0009] Furthermore, a nut can be welded to the end of the bolt to connect the bolt and the nut. The diameter of the nut is larger than the hole on the limiting outer cylinder through which the bolt passes. This can prevent the piston rod from pushing the bolt out of the limiting outer cylinder, which would prevent the contact head from impacting the mesh support properly. A spring can be fitted on the bolt above the nut. The spring can increase the rebound speed of the bolt, which can accelerate the impact between the piston rod and the bottom of the bolt to complete the high-frequency impact of the contact head on the mesh support, thereby allowing the dust to fall off better.

[0010] The contact head is made of trapezoidal silicone material. Silicone material has a certain degree of flexibility, which can reduce damage to the mesh support when it is impacted. The trapezoidal design of the contact head can reduce the accumulation of ash on the contact head, allowing the ash to fall off the contact head more quickly. This prevents the ash from accumulating on the contact head and being scattered due to secondary impacts, which could pollute the air and cause respiratory hazards.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. Mechanical ash shaking reduces manual operation: Mechanical ash shaking replaces manual ash shaking, and the combustion chamber is placed directly in the collection chamber to effectively prevent the ash from escaping during the shaking process, thus preventing workers from inhaling the ash and protecting their health.

[0013] 2. Convenient maintenance and replacement of the contact head: The contact head is detachably connected to the limiting outer cylinder through a connector, which is a bolt that passes through the end of the limiting outer cylinder. This design facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the contact head in the later stage, improving the practicality and service life of the device.

[0014] 3. Ensuring Ash Dispersion Effect and Stability: A nut with a diameter larger than the bolt hole diameter of the limiting outer cylinder is welded to the bolt tail. This prevents the piston rod from pushing the bolt out of the limiting outer cylinder, ensuring that the contact head can properly impact the mesh support and guarantee the ash dispersion effect. At the same time, the spring sleeved on the bolt above the nut increases the bolt's rebound speed, accelerating the impact frequency between the piston rod and the bottom of the bolt. This allows the contact head to impact the mesh support at a high frequency, resulting in better ash dispersal.

[0015] 4. Protects the mesh support and reduces ash pollution: The contact head is made of trapezoidal silicone material. The softness of silicone reduces damage to the mesh support upon impact, extending its service life. The trapezoidal design also reduces the accumulation of ash on the contact head, preventing ash from scattering and polluting the air upon secondary impact, thus lowering the risk of respiratory hazards to users.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-3 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown:

[0022] This embodiment provides a ash-shaking device for moxibustion. By mechanically shaking the ash, manual ash shaking is reduced, and the ash is prevented from escaping and being absorbed by workers during the shaking process.

[0023] The device includes a collection chamber 3, at the bottom of which is a movable contact head 4. Above the contact head 4 is a combustion chamber 1, located inside the collection chamber 3. The combustion chamber 1 holds the moxa stick and has a mesh support 2 installed at its end. In use, the moxa stick is lit, and the lit end is brought close to the mesh support 2. As the moxa stick burns, ash gradually accumulates. A robotic arm lowers the end of the combustion chamber 1 into the collection chamber 3, and the contact head 4 strikes the mesh support 2 to shake off the ash.

[0024] The bottom of the collecting chamber 3 is provided with a limiting outer cylinder 5, and the contact head 4 is located at the end of the limiting outer cylinder 5. It is detachably connected to the limiting outer cylinder 5 through a connector, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the contact head 4 in the future. The connector is a bolt 6 that passes through the end of the limiting outer cylinder 5. The end of the bolt 6 passes through the contact head 4. There is a through hole with a diameter smaller than that of the bolt 6 inside the contact head 4. The end of the bolt 6 is connected to the through hole by an interference fit, so that the end of the bolt 6 can drive the contact head 4 to move up and down.

[0025] To enable the bolt 6 to drive the contact head 4 to move up and down, a piston rod 9 is attached to the tail of the bolt 6. The piston rod 9 swings up and down within the limiting outer cylinder 5 via the crank-connecting rod assembly 10. When the piston rod 9 moves up and down, it impacts the bolt 6, causing the bolt 6 to move upward under the impact force. Due to the connection between the bolt 6 and the contact head 4, when the bolt 6 moves upward, it drives the contact head 4 to move upward as well. Thus, the contact head 4 can impact the mesh support 2, successfully completing the dust removal operation.

[0026] To ensure the stability and reliability of the device operation, the connection of bolt 6 was further optimized. A nut 8 can be welded to the tail of bolt 6, ensuring a secure connection. The diameter of nut 8 is intentionally designed to be larger than the hole in the limiting outer cylinder 5 through which bolt 6 passes. This design effectively prevents the piston rod 9 from pushing bolt 6 out of the limiting outer cylinder 5 during impact. If bolt 6 is pushed out, the contact head 4 cannot properly impact the mesh support 2, severely affecting the ash removal effect. Furthermore, a spring 7 is fitted onto bolt 6 above nut 8. The function of spring 7 is to increase the rebound speed of bolt 6. When piston rod 9 impacts bolt 6, spring 7 allows bolt 6 to rebound quickly, accelerating the re-impact between piston rod 9 and the bottom of bolt 6, thereby achieving a high-frequency impact of the contact head 4 on the mesh support 2, allowing the ash to fall more effectively.

[0027] The contact head 4 is trapezoidal in shape and made of silicone. Silicone has a certain degree of flexibility, which effectively reduces damage to the mesh support 2 when the contact head 4 impacts it, extending its service life. The trapezoidal shape of the contact head 4 also reduces the accumulation of ash on it, allowing it to fall off more quickly. This prevents accumulated ash from scattering upon secondary impact, effectively preventing air pollution and reducing the risk of respiratory hazards to the user.

[0028] Working principle: When ash needs to be shaken off, the robotic arm lowers the end of the combustion chamber 1 into the collection chamber 3. At this time, the contact head 4 at the bottom of the collection chamber 3 abuts against the mesh support 2 at the end of the combustion chamber 1. Then, the crank connecting rod assembly 10 drives the piston rod 9 inside the limiting outer cylinder 5 to swing up and down. When the piston rod 9 moves upward and hits the tail of the bolt 6, the bolt 6 moves upward due to the impact force. Because the end of the bolt 6 is interference-fitted with the through hole in the contact head 4, the bolt 6 drives the contact head 4 to move upward together, and the contact head 4 hits the mesh support 2. Under the action of the impact force, the ash produced at the burning end of the moxa stick is shaken off.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
